It had been a long time since Jinx had a normal, full, restful night of sleep. A regular sleep schedule was hard to come by for a hero that also was dating a hyperactive speedster that only needs four hours of sleep to be fully rested.
Jinx finds herself sleeping better when Kid Flash is there to warm the bed. She had finally convinced Kid Flash to go to bed so she could actually sleep. They're silently lying in bed when it starts. At first she can just feel Kid Flash fidgeting underneath her as she rests her head on his chest but she doesn't say anything; she knows it takes awhile for him to calm down.
Then he starts making random comments and asking the dumbest questions. She does all she can to not lose it. At first she ignores him but then quickly switches to telling him to be quiet but the redhead doesn't seem to know the meaning of the word.
"Jinxie," he starts, staring at the ceiling. "When we see a beautiful painting, we say it looks like a photo. When we see a beautiful photo, we say it looks like a painting."
No response.
"If hover boards are pieces of plastic with wheels, does this mean we've actually been driving flying cars this whole time?"
"I don't know, Wally. Go to sleep."
"Can you image how terrifying it must be to read 'Do Not Touch' in Braille?"
"Can you imagine how terrifying I'm going to be in the morning if I don't get any sleep tonight?"
"'Moose' sounds like a more appropriate animal name for a cow, don'tcha think?"
When Jinx continues to ignore him he continues, "have you noticed that blue plus yellow equals green and that water plus sunlight equals grass? Kind of funny really."
"Wally, please, please, please, go to sleep. I can't sleep if you're constantly talking!"
"But I'm not tired, Jinx!"
Silence.
"Jinx?"
More silence.
"Jinxie?"
She hasn't even bothered to open her eyes since he started talking.
"If one person has an 'innie' and the other an 'outtie', can their belly buttons make sweet love?" he takes a second to think before charmingly whispering, "can we make sweet love?"
When he doesn't get any sort of response, he looks down at her for the first time and sees that her breathing has evened out. He has a small smile on his face before pulling her closer to him, kissing her on the forehead and deciding that he can force himself to go to sleep.
Just a small, simple drabble I found when cleaning my computer. No idea when I wrote it. It may not be the best in the world but I still thought I would share it simply because of my love for my original OTP: Flinx. Apologies for the length and any and all grammar/spelling mistakes.
Kid Flash and Jinx belong to their respective owners (i.e. not me).
All of the comments and questions I found on random sites that have for some reason stuck with me throughout the years.
